Perfect male body?


Quote  |  Reply
Well, with the changing way men are shown in ads and media (compared to even 20 years ago), I'm curious what everyones opinion of the perfect male body is.

Is it the huge weightlifter? The skinny hairless model? The toned, but not muscular male? Or maybe the undefined sophisticated man? Or is it like the bodies of greek statues?

So, find a picture of what you think the ideal male body is and post it here! I think it would be interesting to see what people think (and be able to actually look at examples).

Rob Zombie...mmmmmmmm. His overall appearance is hott as well, but his body...not buff, but takes care of himself and not underweight by any stretch. Holy cow...I need a fan in here.

Edited:  to add a better picture of his bod  

Zombie typically has a pretty epic beard.  I approve.
Original Post by ignoranceandwant:

Carrot Top actually took up bodybuilding awhile ago, which serves to make him look even creepier. He must have had some sort of plastic surgery on his face...it looks distorted and weird now. I remember seeing his standup on TV back in '93 and his act was funny in a silly sort of way...he'd pull his hair into two pigtails and shriek, "Look, it's Wendy! Wendy from the fast food restaurant!" I remember one of his "inventions" was a winter coat for hitchhikers...a parka with a fake additional arm added on with the thumb pointed up.

 With both Carrot Top and Danny Bonaduce, the bodybuilding seems to be about addressing some sort of deep-seated complex they have.  Both of them are weird as hell.  And yeah, CT has screwed up his face beyond belief - he's unrecognizable now.  My guess is that he had a complex about his somewhat feminine look from before and totaally went overboard in trying to change it.  If he had just stopped with the bodybuilding, it would have been cool, but the bizarre makeup and plastic surgery have made him look like an evil clown.  What was his name, "Pennywhistle"?  (shivers)

My bf is strikingly similar, a little skinnier, but similar. :)  I'm SUCH a lucky girl!!
"They all float down here...and when you're down here, you'll float too..."

I always figured CT was at one with his somewhat unconventional look...I mean, nobody forced him to grow his hair out and dress like a cross between Richard Simmons and Mork from Ork.  The bodybuilding look does not really suit him or his wacky persona.

I have no idea what the man did with his face.  I'm guessing he either had a botched facelift or somehow got addicted to some filling material like Botox or Restylane and started self-injecting the stuff.  His face is now a frozen mask of horror...I wonder why they used to use him on those 1-800-ATT commercials since that's when I first saw what he had did to his visage.

Christian Bale... mmmm..... http://www.flixster.com/actor/christian-bale/ photos I know his body has changed drastically for different roles but he is a beautiful man.

I think this is a woman's post / reply, but personally, I've always wanted a physique like Brad Pitt

I think I'm scarred for life... some posts here made that little devil on my shoulder say, "Come on... google Carrot Top Buff, what's the worst that could happen?"

All I can say is don't go to some site called The Superficial. It was a mistake, I will not revisit other than to warn you that Carrot Top is a true redhead and Jude Law has a one inch vienna sausage. /puke

Now if you'll excuse me I have a little devil to slaughter. 

hahahahaha I LOVE that website... for all the people out there, this is what the guy's commentary is re: Carrot Top buff

"I don't know why, but this picture of Carrot Top makes me think that he might actually be turning into a carrot. Or at least some sort of vegetable. I'm pretty familiar with muscle structure, and it's obvious that there's something very wrong with his face and body. I don't know what a vegetable would look like if it tried to take human shape, but I think it would be a little something like this. The nipples alone suggest we're not dealing with homosapien. And the face? My God, the face. Just looking at it makes me fear for the safety of all mankind. Damn you, vegetable people. Damn you to hell!"
Carrot Top naked?  Errrwwww...(sound of an LP slowing down when you turn a record player off)...

The 'Net is full of crazy images...try www.rotten.com.  I remember being morbidly curious after reading about James Vance, a teen who survived a self-inflicted shotgun blast to the face after attempting suicide while listening to Judas Priest...the incident sparked a famous lawsuit involving "subliminal recordings" that's still studied in law schools.  Needless to say, Mr. Vance looked, sadly enough, like a "potato head", had slurred speech, and apparently ate using "a finger and one tooth".  Vance later died of a drug overdose, perhaps intentional.  The idea that someone could go through life with such disfigurement sounds nightmarish...even if he didn't have to deal with constant pain, as he did.  Even worse, apparently some people were amused by his predicament, and marketed a T-shirt online featuring a cartoon of the poor bastard's mutilated face with the legend "Nice Job, James!  Show Us Your Metal Face!"  Absolutely heartless...
Oh I agree with Rob Zombie. Him, Ami James, Billy Lane, Guy Atchisen, Johan Hegg, and Oded Fehr are guys that I find most attractive[I'm a sucker for guys who have tattoos, can you tell?]. You can tell they can take care of themselves, but they aren't super defined. This sounds weird, but I don't really find myself super attracted to Brad Pitt in that Fight Club picture. Its not that he's overly muscular, he just has too much definition. Doesn't seem as natural to me.
Oops, double post.

Personally, I find the thiner, cut, hairless a goal I am striving to.

I saw this indie film with actor Eric Balfour and thats sorta the ideal.

The guy in the upper right

That type of body is my idea of ideal. Strong... but muscles arent pointing out everywhere (i dont like the look of 6 packs... and some have such huge muscles that it seems as if things could get stuck in the muscle cracks! like sand or something o.O)

Veins are a real no-no also... always seems like if you press on it that its stopping blood or something heh (or that someone could poke it and pop it like a bloody balloon...ick...)

Just sleak and very fit...

Your link just leads to some women's fashion website with no men on it.

 

??? 

i like all sorts but i honestly like a guy with meat on them... i guess someones whos bigger than me lol.  theres not one type i stick to. iv been attracted to large guys and stick figures.
Hmm, thats strange! I found the picture again...link fixed :D

(edit: ok, fixed again)

haha I like my man with a little "Meat" on his bones. I don't ever really go for skinny guys, it would be like cuddling with Giselle or something Undecided. I go for big arms and firm pecks, but i could really care less about abs.
